Basically, you'll want an 80qt pot/strainer, a jet burner, and upgrade the regulator to a 30psi. That will easily cook one sack at a time with corn and potatoes. Shop around an get the pieces separately.

Remember. Jet burner.

Have a 10gal propane tank, bayou classic double burner with an 80qt I think. I like it and that double burner doesn't frick around. That being said it will freeze up a 5gal tank.
Oh and I think the pot is bayou classic too

Just go with Bayou Classic 22" double jet burner and 80 quart pot for $215.

100 qt > 80 qt. It's nice having the extra room in the pot.

This 100 Quart Pot with this basket, this lid and this burner.


Just a little over $200. I never seen the use for a double jet. Its louder and waste more gas and doesn't really bring your water to a boil all that much quicker. Also get a 100 quart, when you add your crawfish the water come up to temperature much quicker.

An 80 qt easily holds an entire sack plus fixings and is more than fine for most backyard boilers.

In addition to an 80 qt costing less there is another benefit, I'm a decent-sized guy and although its really heavy when full, I can still pick-up and dump an 80 qt without help. Unless you are huge, the 100 qt and bigger pots are too large for a single person to move and dump by themselves if the pot is full.
